Phi,
weight it with the Number of dives done on the models.
When  I asked: I found most Dolphins dived only random,
among OC dives, but the Inspirations are mostly dived without
still doing a siginficant ratio of OC dives.
This means the Number of Dives per Turtle must be sigificant
higher for the Inspiration than for the Atlantis=Dolphin,
so that the Inspiration propably has a lower toll per dive.
The other Types you mentioned are sold in such low numbers
(at least to private persons) that they can't have a statistic.

Yes, any toll is too high to stop thinking, but don't tell this me,
I'm not one of those who offers weekend classes
or has ever done this.

No, there were detailed analysis and every Inspiration-Diver knows
what has happend in every case where the body was recovered
and the analysis is compleate.
That's why that many peoples blame the Inspiration:
because each case was diskussed in order to lower
the bodycount by knowing what went wrong.

When comparing you will find a lot of well accepted hobbies which
have a higher bodycount per excursion than Inspiration-Diving
but we did not stop working for a better safety.

By that way: what is the US count per 60tousend (non-rec) OC Cave-Dives ?

> I am not going to ask any more.
Why don't you tell us what to check after accendents ?
If You have an Idea what's wrong: don't keep it a secret.
